ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
We have a prospective donor who has expressed interest in sponsoring
memberships for families from her town or area of the state who would
not be able to afford them. We feel this is a great idea and would like
start planning a program that allows for this, with the hope that other
donors will do the same throughout their towns.
Some brief background - we are a brand new, mid-sized science center,
currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2008.
Has anyone managed a program such as this? Any suggestions on how to go
about organizing it? How do you identify needy families to receive the
memberships? Any pitfalls to be aware of?
I am seeking open-ended advice on the topic and appreciate any
responses.
Thanks very much.
